About A-Volute
A-Volute[1] was founded in 2004. It specialises in binaural-based technologies that are dedicated to offer an immersive 3D audio experience from on conventional stereophonic sound systems[2].
A-Volute is now located in Villeneuve d’Ascq (North of France).
Founding Team
A-Volute was created by Tuyên Pham (CEO) & Ambroise Recht (CTO). They both started to work on their core technology while they were still students at Centrale Lille, a top ten French engineering school. As gaming and music lovers, audio is more than a profession to the founders: it is a vocation.
Technology
3D Sound
3D sound primarily defines all the sound technologies that enables the positioning of sound around the listener to produce a lifelike immersive effect. This could encompass, but is not limited to, surround sound technologies, where multiple speakers are placed around a room to immerse the listener in the center of the action[3]. 3D sound technologies aims to recreate sound in a spatial context such that a listener feels that he is hearing it naturally in real life instead of digitally.
With A-Volute technologies, such lifelike 3D sound can be recreated on any device from any input signal (Stereo, 5.1, 3D) and to any audience, making surround sound an accessible mainstream experience. A-Volute aims to become the new audio standard and bring 3D sound back to the ears of billions of people.
Sound Virtualization
A-Volute has developed a renderer engine which enables them to virtualize sound and recreate standard surround sound systems no matter what audio playback system is used.
Upmix algorithm
A-Volute' upmix algorithm spatializes stereo or multichannel contents and transforms them into surround sound or full 3D contents in order to rediscover the sound's original accuracy.
Customizable HRTF filters
A-Volute offers HRTF (Head Related Transfer Function) customization to users for more comfortable and personalized lifelike sound.
